Three Saint Michael's College students have been selected to attend NEW Leadership New England, a week-long leadership development institute, June 14-19, 2009, to be held at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College. The program is designed to empower young women and give them the skills to be part of the next generation of women leaders.
Workshops will train the participants in public speaking, networking, running for public office, issue advocacy and other leadership skills useful in politics and community organizations. Politically active women from around New England will make presentations at the institute. Additionally, a faculty-in-residence program will pair each participant with a mentor, who is active in New England politics, as part of the training program.
Saint Michael's participants are:
Kemi Brewster, a senior, information systems major from Saint Michael's, Barbados
Giselle Regalado, a first-year gender studies major, from New York, N.Y.
Taylor Wahrenbrock, a sophomore French and biology double major, from Chapel Hill, N.C.
Tuition for these students to attend will be covered by the Saint Michael's Center for Women and Gender Studies and the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. NEW Leadership New England is a partner of the New Leadership Development Network at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
Saint Michael's College, founded in 1904 by the Society of St. Edmund and headed by President John J. Neuhauser, is identified by the Princeton Review as one of the nation's Best 368 Colleges. A liberal arts, residential, Catholic college, Saint Michael's is located just outside of Burlington, Vermont, one of America's top college towns and less than two hours from Montreal. As one of only 270 institutions nationwide with a prestigious Phi Beta Kappa chapter on campus, Saint Michael's has 2,000 full-time undergraduate students, some 500 graduate students and 200 international students. In recent years Saint Michael's students and professors have received Rhodes, Woodrow Wilson, Guggenheim, Fulbright, National Science Foundation and other grants, and Saint Michael's professors have been named Vermont Professor of the Year in four of the last eight years. The college is currently listed as one of the nation's Best Liberal Arts Colleges in the 2009 U.S. News & World Report rankings.
